    I just don't rate Wilder as a boxer. Yes he carries the power but his footwork is aweful and he relies heavily on his power but what happens when you are punching thin air all night? I am not a Fury fan but can see him winning this and exposing Wilder for the crude protected American hype job that he is

    Absolutely think he could.

    In 2015 form.

    In 2018 form?

    If he runs all night yes.

    Why do you the bookmakers have Wilder at only 8/11 and Fury at 11/10.

    This is virtually a 50/50 fight.

    Fury's being overlooked, he's criminally underrated.

    Fury`s a great defensive fighter but his offense is very predictable and he was really slow in his last bout.

    I dont think people are overlooking Fury are they???

    Everyone ive heard says they think Fury would have beat him 3 years ago but due to inactivity he may now lose...Thats all ive heard from fans and pundits alike

    I however think Wilder wins 3 years ago or now...

    A lot of people yeah.

    Wilder doesn’t really win rounds. Fury should be racking them up. I’ve no doubt if Wilder lands then it’s goodnight but can he land on the most elusive fighter he will have ever faced (even when not 100%). It’s intriguing.

    100% can beat him -- huge power and a better boxer than he gets credit for

    Fury probably wins every round, its can he make Wilder miss for 12 full rounds. I personally can't wait, but it's going to be such a hard watch. One 6'9 giant jabbing and moving for 12 rounds, with a 6'5 American chasing him round windmilling.

    Yes Fury could run around and play hide and go peep with Wilder for 12 rounds.

    But does the Fury who had that career best performance against Wlad still exist. He doesn’t even have a proper trainer in his corner & has been unimpressive against the 2 bums he has faced in his comeback.

    Wilder only needs to create one opening, and use his superior athleticism to make it count and Fury is doing the chicken dance.

    Wilder is a better boxer than people think. He is an athlete, unorthodox and hard to read. Nightmare opponent.

    Fury can beat him if he mantains concentration.

    Fury has no chance as he is a shell of what he was and if the fight goes ahead he is just selling off his lineal status..

    Not to say he can't get back but he isn't there yet..

    Predictable? If it was that easy to figure him out surely Wlad would have done it? You must thinking of someone else because everyone knows Tyson's awkwardness and unpredictability is what makes him better than all the rest.

    It's possible. We've seen Wilder struggle with lesser fighters than even this incarnation of Fury. But I still think Wilder stops him
